Please spay and neuter your pets! While your newborn pets are cute, failing to do this allows your little darlings to add to the population of homeless animals. Adopt pets from your local animal rescues/shelters, there are plenty of animals just waiting for a home.

My girl does this too. You can see the mild panic when she realizes she forgot to bring me or whoever’s stopped by a toy or sock or shoe or anything else she can find at the time. I love my silly weirdo.

You know, I never really considered the "prized toy" thing, but you're right! My dog greets me every day at the door with his favorite wolf toy. He greets my husband sometimes with the wolf, sometimes with the bunny. Anyone else at the door, he waits to see who they are, and then he will go select a toy and come back to greet them! I never really thought about this before, but he sure does greet people he loves more, with more favored toys! 😂
